Influence of rearing-water temperature on life stages’ vector attributes, distribution and utilisation of metabolic reserves in Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae): implications for disease transmission and vector control

Influence of rearing-water temperature on life stages’ vector attributes, distribution and utilisation of metabolic reserves in Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae): implications for disease transmission and vector control

Abstract Background This study aims at determining the effects of rearing water temperature on immature development, adult vectorial attributes and teneral accumulation in Culex quinquefasciatus (Cx. quinquefasciatus) mosquitoes. Immature life stages of the species were reared (to adulthood) in wate...
